The Department of Labor has issued guidance on the new Families First Coronavirus Response Act (“FFCRA”) as well as a mandatory poster which must be displayed conspicuously in the workplace. While the Act was set to go into effect fifteen days after the President signed it, which would have been April 2, 2020, the DoL has made it effective as of April 1, 2020. Since March 17, 2020, when we wrote about the House passing its version of the FFCRA, the law has changed significantly, and we encourage you to review the DoL’s guidance regarding this new leave law.
If you have questions about this or any other legal topic, please feel free to contact our firm.
